But I do note that in Justice League Europe comics that Wally West discovered that the English were laughing at his name, so it seems the writers of the comic see it as a UK not a US thing. That said, isn’t is the point to use a silly name? A Wally is a stupid person, Waldo is a silly name (sorry to Waldos) so I think the change works.

Follow-up legend, Brian?

I always heard that the reason that the name was changed to Waldo was that Wally was slang for idiot in America at the time. I certainly remember hearing people being called Wallies in the ’80s.

Maybe it was a regional thing, but I don’t remember a single person calling anyone a Wally (good OR bad) in the 80’s in the US Northeast area (well, NYC/NJ area, anyway). That’s slang that never even remotely reached my consciousness.

Oddly enough, though, if someone told me “Wally” was an Australian insult, I’d probably believe it without hesitation. It just sounds like something that fits their slang scheme to me for some reason.

By the way…

SPOILER ALERT

Going from left to right, Waldo is in the center of the piece, more towards the top than the bottom (he’s behind a striped…something. I think they’re some sort of chair).

At any rate, her boob is colored the same shade of green as her bikini bottom.
